Sorry, I hadn't updated since this afternoon.  Looks like Paul has reset
his master tree to be the same as Linus', so you do need to do a reset.
Or checkout a separate branch and use

git fetch -f <powerpc.git tree> master:<whatever branch tracks master>

Using recent git (after 1.5.something), you can track the whole powerpc
tree like this:

git remote add powerpc git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git
git fetch powerpc

This will track the tree in branches called powerpc/<branch> and do
resets as necessary.
